Rated-R.
The fabulous four are on the big screen dealing with life and relationships in the "Big Apple." All four have great careers but three of the four do not have great relationships to match their great careers. True to the television series, the movie retains the great writing that outlines the troubles these women encounter in their relationships.
At some point the film seems to denunciate marriage, and portray it as an enterprise that is bound for failure. From another angle, the point that comes across is, marriage is best experienced as a celebration of the emotional bond people have in amatory relationships rather than the experience of marriage itself. Aside from the perspectives provided on marriage, forgiveness was also a focus of the film.
The writing was witty; the women acted great as usual, and the on screen chemistry was well represented. The performance that stood out the most was Cattrall's. For some reason, she is the one I remembered the most. Sex and The City has always essentially been about friendship and relationships, and keeping in line with tradition the film did not disappoint. There is something absolutely refreshing about seeing women speak frankly about sex, love, and life. According to Movies.com the fans gave it a B, and the critics gave it a B-. I will side with neither and grade it a B+. Stay tuned Movieporium.blogspot.com.
